Is the fishing good? I saw they finally released it on Steam with 4 DLC locations...
ah yes add Starwars Squadrons as well its a very under rated VR game that ran terribly when it was released, but now we have some decent GPU grunt to throw at it the experience is vastly improved imho. Personally I don't see how someone can look at Squadrons as just another SW game there is nothing quite like it, NMS I sort of see where you are coming from.
I think what it comes down to is are you someone who wants to be fully immersed in something that feels real or is it the alternative gameplay that interests you. Are you naturally a Minecraft, Candy Crush, Tetris person or did Crysis tick all the boxes? That will possibly steer you towards titles that will gel but yeah stick to what you enjoy and try out a couple of others to see if they work as well.
The fishing is superb. I play it every day, also great for playting with friends, multiplayer works amazingly well and simple.
Buy it on the Meta store, teh version is well ahead and looks superb already. Avoid the Steam version for now unless you cannot
It's very well planned out. Start in normal mode with beginner rods. You can catch 90% of the fish. When you do that and get good you move to Expert mode where you catch the Epic fish. When you have done that you can catch the Unique fish at any skill level. This leads to real fishing progression. Unique fish were introduced in the USA DLC.
The best Usa and Japan DLC are very worth it, the europe one currently not so much but next week we have Europe Part 2 DLC coming.
Do the tutorials they give you £4k. Save up for the Class A rods and reels don't bother with class B. The better rods and reels help catching the bigger fish.
Class A baits are more attractive to fish than class C, again I try to use Class A. Buy the Class A lures, no point buying the B or C.
You can float or lure fish, both catch the fish but some fish prefer lures and some prefer live bait. The fish map in games tells you their prefered bait.
Each Map has it's own level 1/20. As you level up at 5,10, 15 and 20 you get more fish and much bigger ones.
You have 2 Aquariums, one Freshwater and 1 Salt Water, both hold up to 50 fish each even the sharks.
You can buy ornaments and landscapes for your tanks and furtniture for the Saltwater Aquarium lodge.
You can buy clothing for your avatar as well and new boats for both Freshwater and Saltwater fishing
There are monthly events as well with special fish and objectives
The game is really great and as a coarse fisherman really scratches the winter itch to fish
